The Paper Ba- Business.

Beyond those Immediately interested
there is no adequate conception of the
vastness of the paper bag business. There
are four houses in this city, employing
each about ffty or sixty boys and girls,
and running two or three cutting and
pasting machines and printing presses,
that turn bags out by the hundreds of
thousands every day. The demand is said
to be GREATER than the supply. The orders
are not confined to this city alone, but
como also from distant towns A new
and ingenious labor saving machine. that
has been tested and worked admirably, is
now being set up in one of these establish
ments and great things are expected of it.
Straw, white and manilIa.are the papers
mostly used, and black ink, Many of the
larger grocery houses and variety stores
have their, special cut blocks from which
their advertisements are printed. One of
the bag factories also turns out handles
for packages, but this is a monopoly under
patent rights New York Times.

Fa.hionahIe Fad in Diseases.

The fashionable fad for diseases over
here, while waiting for insomnia to reign
supreme, is malaria. 1t supplanted in
digestion, just as indigestion supplanted
nerves. In France the moral or mental
result of this real or imagined fad is called
ennui, which is entirely ineligible,
though too Elusive to be confined to the
narrow limits of translation or definition.
Physicians encourage the idea.of malaria.
1t agrees with the preconceived theories of
patients. 1t lays the blame on locality or
plumbers and takes the blame off the in
dividual's late hours and Incorporate
meals. 1t puts the responsibility on cir
cumstances and acquits the patient. 1t
impeaches nature and excuses the non-ob.
servance of her laws.
Apropos of malaria an assembly over
here, equally composed of physicians and
clergymen, was startled by an after din
ner speaker whom they would call out the
other evening, when he gravely described
malaria as the cause of all diseases and
deliberately showed to his own satisfaction
at least-and backed it with many plausi-
BILE arguments-that of malaria the cause
was poor preachingl He drew parallel
between the symptoms of malaria and the
various conditions and attitudes through
which man went in going to sleep in
church. The prevalence of malarial COM
plants in country regions where the
preaching is poor and summer visitors
abound, was dwelt upon. When the
speaker finished it was difficult to tell
whether the clergymen or the doctors
were more laughingly indignant. Brook

Habit Of a Rothschlld.

One very warm summers day, when
Baron Anselm was entertaining some
friends at dinner, q window directly oppo-
site his seat happened to be unclosed.
Through the aperture just left there pres
emily came flying, during the dessert, a
packet, so well aimed that it fell right
upon the baron's plate. The guests were
not unnaturally astonished, but Anselm
Mayer quietly felt in his pocket, took out
gold piece and put it in the cover of the
still unopened letter, which he returned
with the same celebrity and by the same
way it had come. This novel and unique
mode of bestowing charity was highly ap-
preciated by his guests. Rothschild, how
ever, was not satisfied; he could not feel
easy until he knew what had become of
the letter and its contents. Apologizing,
therefore, to the company, he asked per-
mission TO rise moment He then adj
vanced to the open window, leaned out
and returned, evidently satisfied and
happy, saying half audibly, 'placirt." 1t
is interesting to know how solicitious the
wealthy financier was, from force of habit,
to know whether even such trifle as that
which he had just given away had been
well bestowed.-New York Tribune Book

The singular question was put to Sam
Jones, the evangelist, by one of his veal
thy church members in Georgia, whose
cotton crop yielded him $4,000 last
year.
where is heavenH" said the rich
planter. '1'll tell you where heaven Is, "
said Mr.. Jones, "if you go down to the
village and get $50 worth Of groceries,
put them in wagon and take them to
the poor widow on the hillside, who has
three children. She is poor and Is o
